ABSTRACT:
A three phase facial toning system includes an applicator having an applicator electrode and a ground electrode that are electrically separated from one another by an insulated base. When the applicator is used, the user's hand is in contact with the ground electrode so that the ground electrode is grounded when in use. In the first phase, a cleanser is applied to facial skin, a first switch actuator is pressed, and the applicator electrode is placed into contact with the skin in a prescribed way. Pressing the first switch actuator places the applicator electrode in communication with a positive voltage so that electrons flow from the user's skin to the applicator electrode to help the cleansing action of the cleanser. In the second phase, a vitalizing gel is applied to the face and a second switch actuator is actuated. A voltage oscillates between the applicator electrode and the ground electrode at a predetermined rate of oscillation so that electrons alternately flow into and out of the user's skin to assist the action of the vitalizer. In the third phase, a moisturizer is applied to the skin and a third switch actuator is actuated. Electrons then flow from the applicator electrode into the skin to enhance the effectiveness of the moisturizer. A housing includes three wells for holding jars that contain the cleanser, vitalizer, and moisturizer and a fourth well that holds the applicator and a power cord that extends from the applicator to the circuit that controls the current flow to the electrodes. Batteries supply power to the circuit.
